Get pymsasid from http://code.google.com/p/pymsasid/

$ wget http://pymsasid.googlecode.com/files/pymsasid-0.31.zip
$ unzip pymsasid-0.31.zip
$ cd pymsasid-0.3

Run it

$ python

import pymsasid
code = "6a 00 48 89 e5 48 83 e4 f0 48 8b 7d 08 48 8d 75 10"
p=pymsasid.Pymsasid(source=code,hook=pymsasid.HexstringHook,vendor=pymsasid.VENDOR_AMD)
p.dis_mode = 64
p.pc = 0x0000000100001478
for i in range(5): print p.decode()

will print

push 0x0 
mov rbp rsp 
and rsp 0xf0 
mov rdi [rbp+0x8] 
lea rsi [rbp+0x10]
